Default still can't find that vent

I've look and there is no vent...I found a post by ShrimpBurrito 11/18/08 that has photos of the Thetford taken apart and still no vent present. Also one by DEarle 4/25/16. I did read about a kit for marine applications from Thetford and also saw a post that shows how someone built a vent that went thru the lower shell wall, but not one on the bottom.

Not sure how or what all has been done with your TM, but here's the vent I have in my bathroom. It's sitting low to the floor at the top left side of this picture.

Tom -

You are right, and I apologize. I've been fixated on the gray-water system for a few days, and jumped a cog when I read your post. Many of us like the Electra-Magic, and with use of the vent fan when needed (just as at home), feel that it serves the purpose admirably.

Talking Different strokes for different folks

OK...KidKratz...that is the "bathroom vent fan" you are looking at in the top of your photo, not a vent to the toilet itself....and Bill, if you like your toilet then that's great. I am happy for you ....I didn't like mine...but I do now that I have a REAL flush toilet! One that DOES have a vent to it that goes OUTSIDE! .....so Bill, I hope your trip is going well and that you are having fun kind sir. Please be careful.
